Hiya xx
What happened to the weather? I came in and the heavens opened. And I've put the heating on 🥶
I called at PO on my way home and paid the rent and leccy bill. I've changed into my scruffs, unpacked my lunch bag, and abandoned my plans to spend some time in the garden this evening.

Hi all
It's been a good day today, 30 minutes yoga before bed last night and 10 minutes meditation when I got up, plus I wrote a to-do list for the day and more or less stuck to it. I still feel like I am fighting off a cold but I slept well and the anxiety has stayed away.
Am I allowed to be a bit miffed because I emailed my line manager who doesn't work in the same building, to say I was ill yesterday and wouldn't be in. She emailed about something else but never acknowledged my email or asked how I was. Oh well.
DH made a lovely pizza for tea, I cleaned the kitchen, hung the washing out and put clean sheets on our bed.
Oh darn it I forgot to pick up my prescription, I mustn't forget tomorrow. I might email myself at work with a reminder.
Hope your feet stayed dry Round. Its freezing here. Most of my summer clothes haven't been out yet x8 -
Evening all. I had actually typed out my update last night but fell asleep while writing it, I was that tired.MONDAY
I didn’t do everything but what I did made a difference, at least in terms of my mental health and a sense of accomplishment. This evening I…
✅ folded laundry that was on the line
✅ after dinner wiped down the kitchen counters
✅ cleaned the backsplash of the kitchen stove
✅ cleaned the stove top
✅ loaded the dishwasher
✅ I also wiped down the both the toilets using Dettol bathroom wipes
✅ unpacked and put away my suitcase. It only took me 1 day versus a a week!
TUESDAY
There wasn’t nearly as much flying today. I only did a clothes wash and halfheartedly hung them up or dried them. I’ll start again in the morning with the kitchen because it’s a mess again and I’m exhausted.
Have a good evening all.
ETA: @roundtuit it’s also become chilly here lately. I turned on the heat a bit this evening to dry some clothes on the radiator and take the chill off the house. I think we’ll have to spring for a new dryer in next 60 days because ours is on its last legs. We’ve been limping along with it for the past year but I think it’s finally time. Hopefully there are some good sales this summer.
Also I had my regular physio appointment today where she gave me shock / electrical therapy to my arm and elbow. Tomorrow I’ll be getting a cortisone shot to the elbow for the pain so definitely limited flying and energy. I won’t be able to lift anything strenuous with my right arm for at least 48 hours. Some easy slow cooker soup / pressure cooker soup may be in order for the next couple days.

CoG shame about the phone. Have you tried calling it? Someone might have handed it in to a shop or something.
YL. of course you should be miffed
Ive had a very productive day, so Monday and Tuesdays lists are done. Windowcleaner came so i paid my debts. Hair appt booked, bank appt booked. Been to town on various errands. Popped into work to do a couple of quick jobs, been for blood test. Did some knitting this evening.
List will be up later, when i’ve decided what room needs most attention in Villa ValliDon't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Morning all
Sorry for being so AWOL. I have no idea where time is racing away to, despite getting up at 5am each day!4 degrees outside here this morning, the kitchen fire is lit again! Flying has been limited to prepping for decorating (my least fave task!) and keeping on top of the basics.
Off to jump in the shower and start the paid stuff now, love to you all xx8 -
Morning all.
Back to paid stuff today. I'm on my own at home for a couple of days so in theory I should get flying done between shifts.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.8 -
Morning all xx
I'm up, made my bed, dressed, packed my lunch, eaten breakfast, completed Wordle, completely failed at Connections- not even one poxy line!, and I'm supping my brew.
I'm back to wearing pop socks (can't be doing with tights) and shoes today. Sandals can come out next month.
I'll feed the birds and put out the recycling before I set off for the paid stuff.
First opinion of new girl at work is that she'll hold her own in that office. 🤞
Have a good day

currently lashing down here, I think I might have to pop home from work to peg out the washing later, the forecast is dry for the afternoon - it was blue skies and sunshine half an hour agoDon't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Good morning 😊
Paid stuff today. I thought I had an easy day today, but I have agreed to have Feral Beryl today as she didn't make it in yesterday 🙄 So I suspect I have a morning of getting frustrated as she is late.
WM x1 pegged out - blue skies here after some rain again last night. WULTD the dishes. DH has put out the bins & emptied the food bin 👍 I don't suppose I will get much else done other than picking up toys & running the vac round later. We are out tonight for DH's Christmas present from me (so long ago I keep forgetting! 😂)
Have a good day all x7 -
Dailies, first work shift and dog walk done. I've also put the bin out for collection tomorrow as I'm not stepping outside again today. It's really cold and windy here.Spend less now, work less later.9
